BARON (who is not a chief)A chapeau.

The chief of a family may use a 'ducal coronet' of four strawberry leaves (one plus two half leaves visible in a typical drawing) tinctured to indicate whether or not the chief is still in possession of
the former estates.

This achievement of the Duke of Hamilton taken from Sir Thomas Innes of Learney's book "Scots Heraldry" p33 shows a coronet of a duke immediately above the shield.Thereon two helmets befitting his degree, and for crests dexter, on a ducal coronet an oak tree fructed etc.sinister, on a chapeau gules, lined ermine, a salamander in flames proper etc.
This wonderful achievement shows a proper regard for the ancient baronial status.
